bobdobbs Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 I'm using affinity designer 2 on mac. I've selected the text tool and started created text. The text is invisible. The layer opactiy is set to 100%. Opacity in the color panel is set to 100% But the text is still invisible. How can I make my text visible?

thomaso Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 The solution varies with the cause for the text being invisible. What type of text frame? Does the text cursor occur + move with your keystrokes? Does the bounding box show a text overflow icon? How about font size and indents? Maybe you should show a screenshot of your entire screen, including the Context Toolbar + the Layers panel with unfolded parent layers + the affected text object selected with the Text Tool. • MacBookPro Retina 15" | macOS 10.14.6 | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 • iPad 10.Gen. | iOS 18.6.2 | Affinity V2.6.3

At least a screenshot may be easy to figure out.
